This new, updated edition of Charmaine Solomon's iconic The Complete Asian Cookbook honours the classic tome with a stunning contemporary design.
Instantly heralded as a classic when it was first published in 1976, The Complete Asian Cookbook covers 800 classic and contemporary dishes from fifteen countries (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, The Philippines, China, Korea and Japan).
Written with the home cook in mind, Charmaine’s recipes are straightforward, simple to follow and work every time. Recipe and chapter introductions give valuable information about how local dishes are prepared and served, while the comprehensive glossary explains unfamiliar ingredients (which are steadily more commonplace in supermarkets today). The Complete Asian Cookbook is a book that belongs in the kitchens of every household.
About the Author
Charmaine Solomon comes from a family of exceptionally good cooks. She started her career in food as a reporter and feature writer for an English language newspaper in Sri Lanka, where she ran a cooking column dispensing recipes and food ideas with flair. Surrounded by generations of talented cooks, Charmaine is now recognised as one of the most knowledgeable (and practical) writers on Asian food. She has taught Southeast Asian, Chinese and international cooking, and her books are sold throughout the world.
In putting together this book, Charmaine travelled widely through Asia, revisiting familiar places and discovering new ones to ensure that, as always, her recipe development was backed up with on-the-spot authenticity.

We’re incredibly excited to share our Kip&Co x Jenny Kee homewares and apparel collaboration - a celebration of both Jenny and the unique and wondrous Australian environment her art has championed for over fifty years.
The optimism, colour and irreverence of Jenny’s art have been an inspiration for generations of Aussies, including us!

This collaboration is quite simply a dream come true.
Jenny Kee is an icon of Australian art and design, successfully translating the vibrancy and energy of the Australian landscape into art and onto textiles for half a century. We hope this new collaboration fills you with as much happiness as it has brought us.
